Shattered Globe Theatre will launch its 2022-23 season with the Chicago premiere of Stew, Zora Howard's Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama that Malkia Stampley is directing. The production is running through Oct. 22 at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave.
Stew features ensemble members Demetra Dee and Jazzma Pryor, with Velma Austin and Jasmine Cheri Rush.
The Tucker women are up early to prepare an important meal, or at least that's what Mama says. As the day wears on, tensions simmer inside and around Mama's kitchen. Stew is a drama that explores the unbreakable bond between kinswomen and reveals the power that loss holds over people's lives when they refuse to share it with others.
Tickets are currently available at sgtheatre.org or (773) 975-8150, or in person at the Theater Wit box office. |
